THIS FRIDAY: SWEET TREAT RAFFLE + HEATHER COOPER ON C.P.C. ORGAN!

Our Sweet Treat Raffle is Back!Join us this Friday for our last meeting of 2022, which will be filled with great food, fun, and entertainment!

Each Rotarian is asked to bring their favorite culinary/holiday "sweet treat" or two this Friday to be raffled off at the meeting. Treats can be store-bought or homemade, so don’t let a lack of talent in the kitchen stop you from participating!

Please let Becky Clark know if you are bringing any treats!

When you arrive, you will be able to purchase raffle tickets (2 for $1.00 or 12 for $5.00) and during lunch you will be able to put your tickets in the boxes for the items you would like to win. The more you buy, the better your odds are to take home a delicious treat for your holiday gathering! Proceeds will benefit our Charitable Fund!

Following our delicious meal (menu below), you will enjoy the incredible talents of organist Heather Cooper for a delightful holiday music concert played on the Gibbs-Preyer Sanctuary organ in the Christ Church Sanctuary. Heather is EXTREMELY talented and the organ is a treasure!

(Editor's note: if you haven't experienced Ms. Cooper on the amazing organ at Christ Presbyterian Church, you MUST take the opportunity at this event! She is a fantastic musician and the instrument is phenomenal! Do yourself a favor and join us that day.)

During that Ms. Cooper's performance, our trusty elves will pull our treat winners, and, following the concert, you can stop in and pick up your delicious winnings!

This will be a great day to catch up with your Rotary friends or to bring a guest!

Don't miss this fun afternoon!

INTERACT CLUB UPDATE: SANTA-GRAMS & FOOD PANTRY VOLUNTEERS!

Thank you to the Rotarians who donated to help our Early college Club. Over $65 was donated to help buy candy for their Santa Gram sale! On behalf of our Interactors, thank you!

Both the Early College Club and the McKinley clubs held a joint service project where they came and helped Christ Presbyterian Church's food ministry prepare for their large community Christmas Party.
